Next Wednesday, the State of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will hold a public hearing in downtown Portland to hear feedback on a program that would designate and develop a statewide network of “Oregon Scenic Bikeways”.
On the table will be a new Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) that would give “scenic bikeways” the same level of protection (known technically as a “Goal 5 resource”) currently given to everything from wetlands habitat to historic sites.
The scenic bikeways program was first championed by the Board of Directors of Cycle Oregon back in 2004 and now has the partnership of Oregon State Parks.
